it is really hard to for me to understand why it is republican vs democrat or conservative vs liberal. i sit on my couch as there are negative campaigns running in both direction. just this morning i saw an interview with john kerry and matt lauer. matt lauer asked him this question. "i read each of your briefs on troops exiting iraq, and it seems to me that they are saying the same thing." kerry fired back that "they are very different."
even christians do not agree with political issues of abortion, embryonic research, gay and lesbian marriage and adoption, capital punishment and war. i have been on blogs of friends and they are attacking bush. while others are patting bush on the back. personally i have never enjoyed a fight. it is just not my style. how far are we going to get when someone is going to disagree with someone just because he is a republican.
since the tsunamis a year bush sr. and clinton have teamed up. two people who have battled it out in a presidential race that got very heated working together for a common purpose. they did a such a great job working together they teamed up again to raise money for katrina victims. it seems to me that we do such a greater job when we work together. we get a lot more finished. we achieve the goal quicker then we could have if it were two individual former presidents.
it is time to come together. throw aside the things that we disagree on and concentrate on what brings us together. what is best for the u.s.? how can we best achieve this? is it possible to throw away all the titles of denominations... oh crap... i meant political parties.
in all reality the church needs to unify. not in the sense of dropping denomination ties. but in the sense of doing all we can to expand God's kingdom. eventuall denominations wont matter. why do they matter now? because for some reason we concentrate on the minors of following Christ rather then the core beliefs.
as far as politics the same needs to happen.
